Hello Jackie_g
I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for an appointment with the gynaecologist after a recent scan revealed that you have a complex ovarian cyst. It's understandable that you're feeling worried and have some questions and concerns about what this may mean.
Have you been given an appointment date? If not you can always give the hospital a call to ask when you may have an appointment or if they have a cancellation list in case one becomes available at short notice.
we know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be really difficult and it's natural that you have some concerns. You might find it helpful to have a look at this post about coping with waiting for news. It may also help to talk things through with someone. If you'd like to speak with one of our nurses for some advice and support I know they would be happy to listen and offer any information and reassurance they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
I do hope you have some news soon Jackie. Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,

Hello Jackie
Good to hear that you have an appointment on Monday. Hopefully, the team will be able to give you some reassurance.
Try now over the weekend to keep busy and not hold on to any negative thoughts you may have. They won't change the outcome but will make the wait seem longer and leave you feeling more anxious and physically out of sorts.
Do let us know how you get on when you see the Consultant.
